Despite its enviable situation, Canada welcomes the equivalent of 1.7% of all displaced persons, according to 2016 figures. Given Canada's economic situation, progress is still to be made in that welcome.
The most important thing is for Canada to increase the funding it provides to host countries, generally countries of the south, those that receive most migrants and refugees. This is so that they can face up to emergency situations and increase their developmental capacity. In that way, those host countries of the south will be better able to welcome migrants and to provide them with protection and dignity. If migrants are not helped in transit countries, they will possibly end up in Canada.
